This study compared the analgesic effect of Ketamine with Haloperidol and Fentanyl in reducing acute pain and its complications. The results showed that patients receiving Ketamine and Haloperidol had lower pain scores at multiple time intervals after injection, and a lower percentage of them required rescue analgesics compared to the Fentanyl group. Additionally, the agitation side effect of Ketamine could be controlled by injecting Haloperidol.
Background: Ketamine is known to be an effective factor in reducing pain without significant side effects. Objective: One of the limited side effects of Ketamine is agitation. Due to the reduction of this symptom with Haloperidol, we decided to design a randomized clinical trial to compare the analgesic effect of Ketamine with Haloperidol and Fentanyl in reducing acute pain and its complications. Methods: In this study, 200 adult patients who presented to the emergency department with acute pain are examined. They are randomly divided into two groups. One group received intravenous Ketamine with Haloperidol and the other group received intravenous Fentanyl. Patients are then compared for their pain score before and after administration of the drugs, as well as the side effects they experienced. Results: There was no significant difference between the mean scores of initial pain in the two groups, but at all intervals of 5,10,15 and 30 min after injection, the mean of pain scores of patients in the group receiving Ketamine and Haloperidol were lower. The need for injection of rescue analgesic was 9% in the Ketamine and Haloperidol group and 34% in the Fentanyl group. The mean agitation score did not differ between the two groups except in the tenth minute. At tenth minute, the mean agitation score of the Ketamine group was higher. Conclusion: Ketamine works better than fentanyl in controlling acute pain, and limited side effect of agitation can be controlled if injected with haloperidol. Due to its better function and fewer side effects, it seems that in controlling acute pain, Ketamine along with Haloperidol can be a good alternative to opioids.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
